Christmas catering near Bishopsgate
Bishopsgate is about 1 mile north-east of London, in Greater London. For Christmas parties in Bishopsgate, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. Bishopsgate is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van.
The A3 and A10 make Bishopsgate easy to reach on a dark winter evening. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as The London School of Barbering, suit a chip van.

How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Bishopsgate
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. We serve gravy, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater festive open days and christmas socials for clubs.
London Christmas parties in Bishopsgate are often at offices, pubs with a yard or homes with a drive. Let us know about lighting and the way in. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What else we do in Bishopsgate
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Keep the queue dry
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Check the van can park on site
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
- Numbers
- How long we serve
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A short walk from the party
Bishopsgate is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
For event organisers in Bishopsgate
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. December in Bishopsgate means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, the address or E1 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.
